Blonde Girl: Did you hear? Some 3rd year said that we’d have to choose who we’d rather see naked – Professor Snape, Janet Jackson, or Richard Hatch!-Alexandra

Portrait of Woman Muttering: ‘Are you sure you don’t want a chair?’ the artist asked me. ‘No,’ I said, ‘I don’t mind standing up for a while.’ Nobody mentioned that I’d be standing up day in, day out for a few centuries!Portrait of Man with Scroll: You can talk! I opted to spend my days with nothing to read but all the Subway captions Eric rejected!-Kazza

*Keerrrrrrrrrrr-Plooooomf*Girl: ‘Oh, there goes that guy who sent in 272 entries for the Caption Contest last week…’-Courtney

…And the line for ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ begins to form…-Feebi

Harry: Ron, I think she fancies you…Ron: What? She does? *Stops and turns back to portrait* Hi… I’m Ron…-Jessi

Some Girl: Hey, what’s Colin Firth doing on the wall?Elizabeth Bennet: *Waving* Hello, Mr. Darcy! Make sure you say hello to Einstein and Shakespeare on your way up, children!-Mel

Girl: I think that portrait’s my grandmother!Boy: Wicked! There’s a painting of a student’s relative in plain view of the school!Girl: No, I mean that the portrait is my grandmother!Boy: ….-G.S.

Girl Facing Out: What are we waiting in line for?Boy: I heard we’re going to be able to see the Janet Jackson / Justin Timberlake Superbowl Half-time Peep Show!-Rachel

Small Portrait of a Man: ‘Sorry, sorry, but would you happen to know whether an ”S” with pointy edges is an ”S” or a backwards ”Z”? I’ve been trying to find out for years, but no one would tell me…’-sgp

Eric: This way, first years. Now we come to Caption Contest Photo #88. Gather round, gather round; take notice of how the first captions had speech bubbles, but after a lot of controversy and corny jokes about them, they were removed.Kids: Ooooh, Aaaah…Eric: And now, if you follow me, we will begin the history of one-line captions…-H.G.

Harry: Neville! Watch out for the –*CRASH*Harry: …Stair…-Callie

Hogwarts students lined up, two in each row,And were passed a rope, but why? They didn’t know.There finally came the call to tug,But not the combined strength could free the big lug.For Hagrid again had been stuck in the door.-Tides

Small Man in Portrait: ‘Welcome to Hogwarts… oh, by the way, I’m getting a speaking part in the next film. Look for me!’-Andrew

Harry: What’s the point of the changing staircases, anyway? Why in the world would anyone enchant the stairs to move?Ron: Well, it’s a convenient way for us to ‘accidentally’ run into Fluffy, and also great for J.K.R. because she can blame it on the stairs if she messes up the directions around Hogwarts!-Christie

Girl One: Hey, look at that lady in the dress!Girl Two: It looks like she’s turning red!Hermione: Well, I read about her in Hogwarts: A History. She’s supposed to be allergic to paint…-Paige

Students: Percy! Why’s there a portrait of Orlando Bloom here?Percy: Well, he was our greatest elf! I thought you would have known that!-Shorti

Portrait: ‘Hello, and welcome to Hogwarts. This year you’ll be faced with a mountain troll, a three-headed dog, and an evil psychopathic professor. But don’t worry; there are good times too…’-Tamar

Hermione: No, Harry. Even in the Wizarding world, hearing voices isn’t a good sign…Small Man in Portrait: She’s right you know… *sigh* maybe I’ve read the book too many times, but I’m sure Hermione just stole Ron’s line. She shouldn’t really know more about the Wizarding world than Ron, should she? Doesn’t quite make sense –Chris Columbus: Stop questioning my film!-Marge

Portrait 1: Look at all those students, so young and innocent! I wonder how many Ms. Rowling’ll kill off by the end of the series…Portrait 2: Care to make it interesting? *Pulls out wallet*-Malka

Sociologists were surprised at the number of people that would line up and dress in black robes, all to get .43 seconds in a Harry Potter film…-toomanycurls

‘Either these stairs are moving, or I drank way too much Firewhiskey!’-Beth

Kid 1: I would’ve never thought pictures could walk and talk…Kid 2: Clearly, you’ve never been to Singapore…-Nor

Blue skidoo, we can too!-Wes

[Extension to Joanna’s Caption]Students: We’re following the leader, the leader, the leader. We’re following the leader, wherever he may go…Draco: Stop! Stop singing this terrible song!Portrait 1: Why, what’s the matter, sonny, is daddy ashamed of his past?Portrait 2: Yeah!
